Items From The Bag

Gown From The Bag!

Remember my trip to the antique store and my purchase of a large bag of Barbie clothes. Here is another gown from that bag.

This is the best item from the bag. My re-bodied No. 10 is modeling it. Her dramatic makeup sets the stage for the dress. It is a purple, silver and gold halter gown. The gown has a lilac lining with a sheer purple chiffon fabric that is embellished with silver and gold flowers and squares pattern. The waist sash and halter straps are silver lame'. She is not wearing jewelry. A gown like this need do additional embellishment. All that is needed is silver shoes and bag to complete the look. The gown has a Middle Eastern feel. Maybe she going to a ball at the U.N.

About Me

I am a collector of Black Barbie dolls, Barbie dolls, fashion dolls and action figures. I had a large doll collection as a child that even included a black Francie and a Julia doll. Once I became older, I still loved dolls but didn’t play with them as much. One day, in a cleaning fit, my mother trashed all my dolls.
I had not thought much about Barbie and the dolls I had for a long time. Then one holiday season I worked part-time stocking the Barbie isles in the old Kiddie City in Center City Philadelphia. I saw all the wonderful new Barbie dolls and the wonderful fashion dolls that were for sale. My love for Barbie was back! Now… I’m trying to replace the dolls I have lost and am adding a few new friends along the way. I have replaced my Julia. She is my favorite!! I don’t think I can afford an original black Francie yet. Maybe one day soon! I have a reproduction. There are some really great dolls out there. Join me on my journey to find them and have some doll fun! For more about my interest, check out this link:http://i-luv-dolls.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-interview-answers.html
